[Users] Re: Difference in privvmpages accounting between 2.6.8 and 2.6.9-023stab040.1

[Kirill Korotaev]

Ligesh,

I answered in the bug:
http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484

Both kernels are correct. This is due to execschield which creates some
interesting mappings on its behalf. Investigating the reasons of it.
To turn this 2.6.9 behaviour off boot the kernel with noexec=off

Thanks,
Kirill
